5 mistakes WWE has made with Survivor Series this year

#3 Last minute changes

Becky Lynch

At last year’s Survivor Series, no one was really interested in seeing Brock Lesnar versus Jinder Mahal and luckily for the fans, AJ Styles won the title and was automatically inserted into the match with Brock Lesnar. With Roman Reigns giving up the title and Brock Lesnar regaining the title at Crown Jewel, WWE fans were in line to see AJ Styles vs Brock Lesnar again.

The WWE Universe was looking forward to this re-match…oh but wait…days before Survivor Series Daniel Bryan turned heel and won the title from AJ Styles?!? Sure, fans want to see Lesnar vs Bryan but at the expense of not getting to see Lesnar vs Styles 2? And with only days before the event, how are fans supposed to get behind this?

This wasn’t the only last-minute change. Due to an injury that occurred during the “SmackDown Invasion” angle on this past Monday’s episode of RAW, Becky Lynch is no longer medically cleared to wrestle. Replacing her in the match against Ronda Rousey is Charlotte Flair.

Earlier this year, Becky Lynch was supposed to turn heel, but when she did the fans refused to ‘boo’ her and instead catapulted her to a whole new level of ‘fan favorite’. Even when she attacked Ronda Rousey in the locker room, a typical heel move, the fans cheered and started chanting her name. Fans wanted to see Rousey vs Lynch. This could easily have been the most anticipated match on the card.

Now a Rousey-Lynch confrontation goes back to the ‘dream match’ category and fans are left with Rousey vs Flair, which fans aren't upset about, but most assumed Rousey vs Flair would be saved for WrestleMania and not be something announced 4-5 days before the event.
